Benefits of Glutathione IV Therapy in Orange County, CA

How Glutathione IV Treatments Detoxify, Protect and Enhance Every Cell in Your Body

Glutathione is a naturally-occurring peptide produced by every cell in the human body, including immune cells. This powerhouse molecule is made up of three essential amino acids: cysteine, glutamate and glycine.

Glutathione is an extremely powerful antioxidant and key to almost all body functions. When glutathione is depleted it results in cell death. When glutathione levels are sufficiently high it protects your cells from damage by free radicals, among other benefits.1

Boost vitamin drips and injections all contain glutathione and you can add extra glutathione to any treatment. Check out other beneficial IV drip ingredients, book glutathione IV therapy online or request a custom formula.

Benefits of Glutathione

Glutathione has outstanding and far-reaching benefits for health, beauty and longevity. It has been widely studied and is known as “the mother of all antioxidants.”

Glutathione lightens and brightens skin by erasing hyper-pigmentation and inhibiting melanin production in cells

Glutathione reduces inflammation

Glutathione helps your body break down and purge fat

Glutathione keeps your body from becoming resistant to drugs

Glutathione promotes high energy and mental clarity

Glutathione has anti-aging properties

Glutathione can improve quality of sleep and combat stress from sleep apnea

Glutathione is the ultimate detoxifier and fights oxidative stress

High glutathione levels directly correspond to overall health and function for every system in your body. Your cells make glutathione, but usually not enough to deal with the high levels of free radicals (from environmental toxins, alcohol, stress and more) we encounter daily.

Glutathione and Your Skin

Glutathione has been shown to improve skintone & help prevent fine lines, dark spots & other signs of aging.

Glutathione has been shown to lighten skin tone. How? Glutathione binds to the enzyme responsible for melanin production and reduces activity. In addition, GSH reduces free radical activity throughout the body which further prevents activation of melanin-producing enzymes.

Glutathione not only lightens the skin, it helps minimize and prevent dark marks, scars and age spots, especially when added to our anti-aging IV hydration treatment. Glutathione also detoxifies the liver, which results in brighter, clearer skin.

Oxidative stress is a known factor in acne breakouts. Glutathione reduces the effect of free radicals in the skin and can help prevent acne, wrinkles and fine lines. Another powerful antioxidant, ALA, also improves skin by reducing puffiness and the appearance of pores and works well with glutathione. Learn more about the benefits of alpha lipoic acid here.

Why Choose Glutathione Intravenous Treatment?

Studies show eating or drinking glutathione supplements is not an effective way of increasing your blood levels of glutathione.

Glutathione IV infusion bypasses your digestive tract and delivers the powerful antioxidant directly to your bloodstream where it can do the most good. High levels of glutathione in your blood are carried to your brain, heart, lungs, muscle tissue and everywhere in your body so your cells can benefit from glutathione’s detoxifying and protective properties.

There are some supplements shown to boost your body’s own production of glutathione:

How well your body absorbs the supplement and produces glutathione depends on your unique body chemistry, age, health and many other factors. The best way to ensure you’re getting maximum absorption and the full benefits of glutathione is with an IV infusion.

Many chronic health conditions including autoimmune disorders, fibromyalgia, heart disease, skin disorders and many more are associated with low glutathione levels. In many cases the medications prescribed for chronic health problems further deplete glutathione.

What Causes Low Levels of Glutathione?

Research shows regular exercise helps maintain or improve glutathione levels in the body.

Glutathione levels decrease as we age. Certain diseases and health conditions can also reduce glutathione supplies. Low levels of glutathione are linked to poor health. This is one reason why people are more likely to develop various health problems as they get older.

Health conditions linked to low glutathione levels include:

Cancer

Type 2 Diabetes

HIV/AIDS

Liver cirrhosis

Parkinson’s Disease

Alzheimer’s Disease

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Health problems can cause decreased glutathione. You can also fail to produce enough glutathione due to genetic deficiencies and lack of the necessary enzymes.

Replenishing glutathione helps treat the symptoms of many health problems associated with low levels of this important antioxidant.

Glutathione and Vitamin C

Glutathione and vitamin C also interact with each other in beneficial ways. Vitamin C helps maintain glutathione levels in the body, and glutathione transforms oxidized dehydroascorbate (oxidized ascorbic acid) back into its active form.

Glutathione, the Brain and Moods

People diagnosed with depression, OCD, ADHD and schizophrenia have low glutathione levels. Many of the drugs prescribed to treat bipolar disorder work by boosting levels of glutathione in the cells.

Glutathione has also been shown to help reduce oxidative stress. Stress is a major symptom and contributing factor in many mental health imbalances. Recent research shows glutathione is a promising treatment for improving the symptoms of autism spectrum disorders.3

Glutathione and Cancer Treatments

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant, helping the body remove excess free radicals. Stress and sickness can cause your body’s glutathione levels to become depleted very quickly.

When you’re sick or dealing with the side effects of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation, decrease and change in appetite can make getting enough of this important nutrient nearly impossible.

Supplementing your diet with IV glutathione infusions can help repair cells damaged by cancer treatments.2 Many cancer survivors using IV therapy report improving their quality of life much faster than by relying on glutathione from food alone.

Glutathione treatments keep your liver happy so you can detox and renew daily.

How Glutathione Helps You Lose Weight

Glutathione is, for the most part, produced and stored in your liver. Your liver is the organ responsible for filtering your blood to neutralize toxins, drugs, free radicals and other harmful substances.

Glutathione for Hangover IV Treatments

Alcohol consumption not only reduces glutathione levels in the liver, it causes oxidative stress. Glutathione can help you recover from a punishing hangover by adding extra detoxifying power so you can cleanse and renew your system.

Injecting glutathione directly into the bloodstream as a shot or IV treatment is the best way supplement your gluathione levels. Oral glutathione supplements are not absorbed nearly as well or as quickly as a direct injection.

Glutathione injections only take five minutes and can give you a quick boost you'll benefit from all week.

Are There Side Effects from Glutathione?

Studies have linked long-term use of supplemental glutathione to lower zinc levels. Consuming glutathione supplements orally has also been linked to digestive distress in some patients, such as abdominal cramps or bloating.

Intravenous glutathione bypasses the digestive system completely, delivering the master antioxidant directly to your cells. The vast majority of people who receive glutathione IV treatments report only positive side effects.

More studies are needed on the long-term effects of glutathione treatment. The jury’s out on glutathione’s effects on pregnant or breastfeeding women, so if you're pregnant or nursing please check with your doctor before you begin.

In some studies, cystic fibrosis patients had adverse side effects following glutathione treatment.

As always, if you’re already on medication or a supplement regimen for any health condition be sure to speak with our doctor about the best IV treatment for you!
